AT no period of the worlds his

open college doors and the invitation
10 women to a wider field and more
active participation in the busy
world has had no effect To rob the
sex Of any womanly charm, as
eroakers foretod. When the his
tory of the last quarter of the nine

rian will write over against the
names Of many women the word

DREADFUL SCENES AT A RAIL
ROAD WRECK.
THE RESULT OF STOVES BEING USED IN
RAILWAY CARS.

One of the most shocking accidents that
has occsrred in the history of railroads in
the United States. took place near
White River Junction. VT, on Thursday
night. A telegram from White River
says:
The train for which this awful fate was
Ia store IS known as the Montreal Ex-
press. It is made up nightly at this juno
ton and consists OF the remains of two
trains. Last nights train consisted of
one passenger coach and one Pullman
sleeper, the Saint Albans,'' from Spring

aud baggage, and mail and express car
from Boston-seven cars in all. The train
was nearly an hour and half late, and
started from this junction at few min
utes after A. M, under the charge of
conductor Sturtevant. All the cars we're
well filed, the Springfield and Boston
sleepers being crowded with fun loving
people bound for the winter sports at
Montreal.
The weather was clear, but cold; the
mercury stood at about 200 below zero and
the moon was just piercing the hazy
clouds as the train moved out oil the sta.
tion. The engineer knew his ground thor
oughly; he had taken, many a train safely
over this winding route among The Yer.
mont hills and was determined to make
